Tragic.

Bummer. The Cardinal organization has had their share of tragedies.
-
That's terrible.
-
Sad news. Kid had a world of talent. Way too early.
-
Devastating news.
-
I was looking forward to watching him...even as a Card. Really terrible.

Really, really good article: http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2014/10/27/7078787/the-lost-hope-of-oscar-taveras

Devastating news.
Out of curiosity, why is this any more devastating than the hundreds of other people who died on that day? I understand why there is more interest among baseball fans, but how does the presence or absence of baseball talent affect the degree of "devastation" associated with the death?

Out of curiosity, why do you think the hundreds of other deaths that day don't matter?

Read the article I posted above. I think it accurately hits the feeling, at least for me.

You can Youtube the DR media account. That car was crushed

BAC 5 times the legal limit. (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/official-taveras-drunk-during-fatal-crash-232031608--mlb.html)

So I looked up the BAC limit in the DR. Apparently it's zero, but there is a limit of 0.05 for "professionals"....this accroding to Wiki and supported by other pages I've found. I can only imagine that the 5x BAC is referencing the 0.05...so we're talking 0.25 - that's pretty damn drunk.

That's completely shitfaced. And driving 100 mph in the rain.
